The outbreak of illnesses in Wuhan since December 2019 has drawn
worldwide attention. The sporadic emergence and outbreaks of the new type of
coronaviruses are a warning sign of a severe global health threat. It is likely that
new CoV outbreaks will be unavoidable in the future due to changes in climate
and ecology, and increased interactions between human and animals. Thus,
there is an urgent need to develop effective therapies and vaccines against CoVs.
In this regard, the role of precision medicine would offer the best solution,
from which the knowledge of coronavirus genome structure and replication is
mandatory as guides for developing vaccines for the protection and targeted
therapies.
